Zachary Pollock has developed a Kickstarter project, hoping to raise funds for a super-sized Super Mario mosaic. Specifically, it would picture the entirety of level 1-1 from Super Mario Brothers. Here is a small section of the mosaic (only 1/60th the size of what the final product would be):

The final mosaic would be over 6 feet tall and an amazing 90 feet long, and would contain about 780,000 studs. It would be on display at various conventions throughout the next year.

You can find out more information about this project at Zachary's Kickstarter site or his blog. Kickstarter projects employ an all-or-nothing funding system. This project will be funded if it raises $26,400 by May 10.﻿

I'd seen some pictures on flickr, but didn't have any of the backstory. Apparently it was done by model designers for the LEGO Universe program. The post on The Luprechaun includes a description of the building process by Classicsmiley, who was involved in the build. It is interesting, and I recommend checking it out.

Martin J. (MorsLEGO) used headlight brick spiraling patterns to make this very peaceful scene.

I love how the borders pull the different sections into one unified whole, and the minifig is just lovely. Martin says this was his first real try at a mosaic. I notice that he has since incorporated more mosaics into his work, including this rather humorous scene of a royal bathroom. Keep up the good work!

About MosaicBricks:

MosaicBricksis a blog dedicated to all things Lego Mosaics that was started in July of 2010. Before this time, no other blog was covering all Lego Mosaics across the web. Instead of waiting for someone else to make one, Casey, MB's creator, jumped at the opportunity. The blog not only covers popular mosaics and not as-well-known mosaics, but provide tips, hints, instructional, and much more. In Nov. of 2011 we added Katie Walker, in Aug. of 2012 we added Dave Wares, and in Dec. of 2012 we added building duo Sean and Steph. If you'd like to do a little bit of reading up on the site, you can read the: Hello, there!, A Mosaic: What is it? posts as well as the creation post on classic-castle.com.
